Gymnastics!

This week in p.e. was our first week of gymnastics! Some of us got to somersault around a high bar. If you want to go on the high bar, you have to take a test. First, you started on the low bar, then moved to the medium bar. Ultimately, Mr. Brenheiser spotted you on the high bar. After that, you would choose if you wanted a spotter or not. It was a great time!

Written by Room 221 Writers


***The FCAs for this week's reflection letter are:

2 paragraphs - This should include a response to the last letter you wrote to them and a second paragraph explaining something new they wrote this week.

3 strong words - Third grade writers should choose their words carefully to be as strong and precise as possible. Notice the words spotter, ultimately and somersault in the paragraph above.

Looks right/Sounds right - Third grade writers should edit their letters carefully so that there are no missing words, words are spelled correctly (or very challenging words "look right") and capitals and punctuation are in the right place. The kids saw me reread this paragraph several times to adjust the verb tenses.


Look for these qualities in your child's letter this week!
